Vol. 16 No. 50 St. Albert & Sturgeon 


Council and petitioners 
challenged on 
rec. complex 


St. Albert’s by now con- 
troversial $5.3 million re- 
creation complex can always 
be guaranteed to make for an 
interesting council meeting. 

And last Monday night's 
council meeting was no 
exception, 

First off, Elizabeth Bak- 
ker, an appointed member of 
the Parks and Recreation 
Board, took a long swipe at 
council for defeating a 
motion by Councillor Rod 
Throndson at a recent council 
meeting which wanted the 
complex to be decentralized. 

Then came the word that 
the costs of the complex 
might be defrayed by $625,- 
000 over a period of 25 years 
as council moved the accep- 
tance of the prededication of 


1S acres of the Rodeo 
Grounds for the complex. 
The land is owned by the 
Oblate Fathers and they 
recently expressed the desire 
that the town should have the 
land, provided it is used for 
the recreation complex. 
Then Councillor Barry 
Breadner issued a tough 
challenge to those in St. 
Albert who were petitioning 
against the money bylaw, 
(plebiscite January 13), on 
the borrowing of $2.9 million 
for the recreation complex. 
He said that in a meeting 
with the town and the peti- 
tioners last Thursday they 
had told St. Albert town 
officials they were not overly 
concerned with the costs of 
the complex - or words to 


that effect. They didn’t mind 
if the town spent more on the 
project if the complex ‘“‘fitted 
in with their concept of the 
facilities needed.”’ 

But Coun. Breadner made 
no bones about the matter. 
He emphasized that the town 
was concerned about the 
expense of the project. And 
pointing out that St. Albert 
had already spent much time 
and energy on the recreation 
complex plan - he challenged 
the petitioners to put forward 
their concept. 

“Let them put it forward 
now,”’ he almost roared, ‘‘I 
challenge them to put for- 
ward their concept this 
week.”’ 

At this point Councillor

Protestant Board votes 
against service costs levy 


Trustees of the St. Albert 
Protestant School District 
voted against paying $37,700 
service costs levied on the 
school site in the Lacombe 
Park Stage 9 area. i 

Chairman Bill Webber ad- 
vised the board members on 
Wednesday night that he had 
received a response from Mr. 
Rodgers on BACM devel- 
opers, Mr. Rodger’s letter is 
in reply to a letter from 
District No. 6 questioning the 
frontage costs. 

Although he did not ela- 
borate, Mr. Webber said that 
BACM had outlined the rea- 
sons for their request for 
frontage costs and he moved 
that the board accept the 
costs. He added he saw a 
need for the school site and 
that the title was being 
prepared and would be 
turned over to the district 
shortly. 

Trustee Shirley McCaffery 
stated her objections to the 
district paying the service 
costs and she referred toa 
previous motion made by the 
board at the November 12 
meeting. The motion, pro- 
posed by Trustee Don 
Munro, was against the 


district paying servicing cos- 
ts, and it carried 3 to 2. 

Chairman Webber's mo- 
tion was lost with Trustees 
Munro, McCaffery and Cuts 
in opposition. 


JOINT USE GUIDELINES 


Trustee D. Munro, repor- 
ting for the Joint Use 
Committee, advised the 
board that the fourth revision 
to the Joint Use Agreement 
Guidelines and Regulation 
was finalized. Trustees had 
received a copy of these and 
they voiced some concerns at 
the meeting. 

Trustee Dr. W. Cuts was 
worried about who would 
control the types of groups 
and activities which would be 
held in school premises. He 
was especially concerned 
with possible breakage or 
misuse. He was advised that 
Secretary-treasurer George 
Hargreaves for District No. 6 
and Secretary-treasurer Ted 
Baldwin for District No. 3 
would be responsible for the 
day-to-day operations in 
their respective districts. 

Trustee McCaffery was 
unhappy about the cost the

district may face due to the 
extended janitorial services. 
She felt that the clause 
covering cost sharing was not 
specific enough, 

Chairman Webber con- 
sidered that the agreement 
was fairly broad, covering 
the schools in the event of 
damage, and that the clause 
covering janitorial costs sta- 
ted that these costs would be 
set by mutual consent. He 
thought that this gave the 
board pleniv of scope for 
negotiation. 

Trustee Munro moved that 
the board accept the guide- 
lines and regulations and the 
motion was carried with 
Trustee McCaffery opposed.

Approval of subdivision 


At its regular meeting last 
Monday night St. Albert 
council moved the approval 
of the proposed subdivision 
of the Ball Park Estate. 

(Lot 4, Block One, Plan 276 
KS.) 

This was subject to the 
outline in a November 6 
memorandum to council. 


While talk on the proposed 
subdivision had been going 
on for some years according 
to Mayor Dick Plain, and the 
town was now looking at the 
crucial stages of the devel- 
opment, Councillor Margaret 
Smith opposed the proposal 
approval on the grounds that 
it was premature. 


She wanted the public to 
see the design for the devel- 
opment and felt that waiting 
a few more months before 
finalization would not make 
that much difference. 

Council has agreed to a 
public hearing on the matter 
in late January.

Gas tank explosion may have caused fire 


A fire at Riverside Sales 
and Service 2:30 Sunday 
afternoon was started when a 
snowmobile carburetor cau- 
ght fire after efforts were 
made to repair the machine. 

St. Albert RCMP said that 
when they were alerted 
about the fire, at about 2:20 
p.m., they found an 18 year 
old St. Albert resident Mark 
Raven suffering from smoke 
inhalation in the workshop 
south of the main building. 

He was dressed in a snow- 
mobile suit and was taken to 
the Sturgeon General Hos- 
pital where he was treated 


for smoke inhalation and 
released. 

He was dressed in a 
snowmobile suit and was 
taken to the Sturgeon Gen- 
eral Hospital where he was 
treated for smoke inhalation 
and released. 

Apparently Mr. Raven was 
working on a snowmobile 
motor which backfired, and 
then the carburetor caught 
fire. RCMP said that Mr. 
Raven tried to put out the fire 
by throwing snow on the 
flames. Following this the 
machine's gas tank explo- 
ded, throwing gas on to other 


snowmobiles, as well as on to 
one wall of the building. 

Still attempting to put the 
fire out, Mr. Raven made a 
last effort with a fire extin- 
guisher, before being app- 
arently overcome with the 
fumes. 

Police, then the St. Albert 
Fire Department arrived at 
the scene of the fire. 

According to the RCMP 
two snowmobiles and two 
motorcycles were damaged 
in the blaze. 

$2,000 damage was caused 
in a three car pile up on the 
St. Albert Trail December 13 


at 2:30 p.m. 

St. Albert RCMP are still 
investigating the crash but 
indicate that it may have 
been caused by someone 
making a left hand turn 
across the Trail .2 miles 
north of 137th Avenue. 

Those involved in the 
crash were William Dickson, 
47, of St. Albert, and his wife 
Maureen. Neither were in- 
jured in the collision. 

In the second vehicle was 
Patricia Jones, 23, of #3, 
8707 - 99 Street, Edmonton. 
She was the sole occupant of

Ball Estate 


Cont'd from Page 1 


Councillor Barry Breadner 
pointed out that with the 
town’s present zoning a 
population of 32,000 was a 
realistic target; also that he 
was concerned at the rate 
with which growth proceed- 
ed. 

Coun. Smith said that 
council still had to get more 
information from the public 
on what they felt was a 
reasonable rate of growth 
and approval should be de- 
layed till there was more 
general plan input. 

Councillor Rod Throndson 
asked how the ravine might 
be protected - he was worried 
that backyards might be 
halfway down the ravine. 

Town administrator Bob 
Byron said that it had been 
noticed that the Grandin area 
was deficient in open space; 
therefore lots would not 
infringe on any part of the 


ravine. 

Council also discussed, for 
the second time, whether an 
alignment should be left in 
the development for rapid 
transit. 

Coun. Smith felt that the 
ravines should be kept as 
parkland anyway and that 
the area could be developed 
for light rail transit or bus 
lanes. 

Councillor Lukay said that 
the ravine, according to the 
report, can indeed be used as 
a rapid transit route and that 
council must decide whether 
it wants to go that route or 
retain the land along the 
ravine and use the alterna- 
tive of aligning the rapid 
transit along the highway. 
He felt the intent of the 
recommendation was to do 
the latter, one reason being 
that rapid transit will not be 
needed until a population of 
200,000 is reached. The other 


consideration he said, is the 
possibility of Edmonton rou- 
ting rapid transit through 
Castle Downs. He thought 
that council should hold the 
ravine as parkland. 

Coun. Smith agreed this 


- could be done now, while 


leaving council’s options 
open for the long range 
future. In the immediate 
future we will likely be 
looking at bus lanes, she 
said, which are more easily 
and more economically pro- 
vided next to the highway. 
Leaving the ravine as park- 
land will leave our options 
open, she added. 

Coun. Throndson wanted 
the ravine land protected and 
said that council should take 
a much more serious look at 
the situation regarding a 
possible disadvantage to the 
Ball Estate. ‘‘We have not 
decided on the Ball Estate 
plan,’ he said, ‘‘which must 
go to the public before 
finalization.

‘It's too late now,’’ he 
said. ‘‘Hockey violence has 
to be cracked down on when 
kids first start to play in 
amateur leagues -- not just 
for professionals. The game 
should be played with 
sportsmanship, like it is in 
Europe.

‘‘The crackdown might 
slow the violence down, but I 
doubt if it’ll stop it. Too 
many people go to see the 
fighting as the main event. 
But having police there is a 
good thing. They have to try 
something.

violence on TV, he sees it as 
a part of life one has to learn

‘Tl used to play hockey 
when it was a good, clean 
game,’’ he said, ‘‘when 
high-sticking and stick-swin- 
ging didn’t happen too often. 

‘‘They should let two 
grown men out fighting on 
the ice alone. The violence 
usually happens after a play 
and has nothing to do with 
how good the play is or a 
good hockey player. 

‘But stopping the game to 
give penalties may empty the 
benches. The fight should be 
just between the two players: 
fighting.” 


MRS. ISABELLE LLOYD 
156 St. & St. Albert Trail 
Housewife 


‘'T hope it does. I’ve got 
three boys in hockey and two 
of them have had sticks in 
their mouths. Once it was 
done deliberately. 

‘*Kids would see there’s 
not much fun in a violent 
game, if policemen have to 
come on the ice to stop it. 

‘It was good to hear a 
good player like Bobby Hull 
stand up and say hockey 
violence has to be stopped.”’ 


JOHN DeKAM 
12 Savoy - Welder 


‘Policemen on the ice 
should slow down some of 
the bad elements of fighting 
and encourage real hockey 
players to play without fear 
they're going to be speared 
by a stick every time they get 
the puck. Especially if the 
player is a smaller guy. 

“The policemen shouldn't 
be there in the first place -- it 
doesn't do the game any 
good. But although fans 
seem to like things like the 
brawl in the recent Bruins- 
Canadiens game, maybe the 
possibility of being arrested 
will keep players on the 
bench.” 


MRS. ROSE SCHEBESCH 
44 Flagstone - Housewife 


“I don’t think it will make 
any difference now,’’ she 
said. *‘The fans are going to 
react the same, and police 
can't really arrest a player 
unless they can prove the 
violence was done on pur- 
pose. A player might be 
accidentially tripped, but a 
fight still break out. 

‘I’m against having my 
own young kids play hock- 
ey. 


JERRY TUBB

‘*You don’t see so much 
violence in any other sport 
but hockey. Its time they 
clamped down on it. The 
penalties should be more 
severe such as in football. 
When a player gets a game 
misconduct -- he’s thrown 
out of the game. 

‘Kids get a wrong im- 
pression of hockey watching 
its players fighting all the 
time. My 11 year old son 
enjoys skating, but has no 
ambition to play hockey. 
He’s not a fighter and seeing 
hockey violence is a deter- 
rent to him. I don’t know 
about other kids.”’

Rec. Complex 


Cont'd from Page 1 


Throndson came in with his 
pet topic, the decentraliza- 
tion of the recreation facility. 
This was what he had 
interpreted from the Shelley 
report on recreation, and he 
felt that the complex should 
be split into three, for three 
population levels of 15,000 
each. Then a start could be 
made on a swimming pool in 
one area, the councillor 
pointed out, or an arena in 
the other with the major 
development centering on 
one of the three sites later. 


MRS. BAKKER’S 
STATEMENT TO COUNCIL 


It was earlier in the 
evening that Mrs. Bakker 
decided to get her message 
across to council in the 
delegations and deputations 
period. 

She was adamant that 
council should give the 
people the chance to decide

the vehicle and no injuries 
were reported. 

Driver of the third vehicle 
in the crash was Aaron 
Comeau, 53, of #4 Mural 
Crescent, St. Albert. He was 
with his wife Simone Comeau 
51, who received superficial 
injuries. 

RCMP are pointing out 
that many of the accidents on 
the St. Albert Trail are 
caused by drivers making 
unauthorized left turns. They 
remind drivers that there are 
double solid lines on the Trail 
which are meant to have the 
same effect as a median. 

‘‘Left hand turns are 
causing chain reaction acci- 
dents,’’ an RCMP spokes- 
man told the Gazette Tues- 
day afternoon. 

The spokesman said that a 
study had been released by 


School 


Cont'd from Page 1 


and decided, from the three 
alternatives available, to 
have full kitchen facilities. 
Full kitchen facilities will 
cost the district approxi- 
mately $78,000. 

Other alternatives open to 
the board were no kitchen 
facilities and limited kitchen 
facilities. No kitchen facil- 
ities would have meant that 
space would be used only as 
a lunch room where students 
take their bag lunches. 
Appropriate food and bever- 
age yending machines could 
have been provided. 

Limited kitchen facilities 
would mean that soups, 
sandwiches and beverages 
could be served but there 
would be insufficient space 
or equipment for a large 
scale production of short 
order meals. 

The choice of full kitchen 
facilities was recommended 
by Buildings and Property 
Chairman, Trustee M. Mc- 
Farlane. Although it is the 
most expensive, it is also the 
most flexible of the options, 
The kitchen is designed to 


whether the facility should 
be spread throughout the 
town and not lumped in one 
area. 

She wanted the electorate 
to be given the same chance 
as council was given nine 
months ago, to decide what 
kind of recreation complex 
would be developed. 

She felt that the few 
people in St. Albert who did 
come out to council meetings 
or sent letters to council on 
the recreation complex issue 
‘*might not give the true 
picture of what the ‘silent 
majority’ wants.”’ 

‘They prefer the anony- 
mity and quietness of the 
voting booth for their opinion 
for or against the recreation 
complex. Let's give them the 
chance to express their 
opinion and let council 
review the referendum de- 
cision on the recreation 
complex,’’ she said. 

After this Mayor Dick 
Plain said that there was no 
way that council could go 
through the expense of doing 
the studies on numerous 
different locations for a 
complex.

so far there’s no sign of any

PARALLEL PARKING 
OUTSIDE BRUIN INN 


RCMP announced that 
parallel parking is now in 
force outside the Bruin Inn. 
on Perron street. This is to 
make for better visibility 
when approaching the four- 
way stop at the intersection 
of Perron and St. Anne 
Street. 

Angle parking had pre- 
viously been in force outside 
the Bruin Inn and was 
sometimes noticeably inter- 
fering with vision on the 
appraoch to the four-way 
stop intersection. 


Board 


accommodate varied food 
preparation operated either 
by a caterer or the district. 
The cafeteria will be capable 
of accommodating 300 stu- 
dents at one sitting. 


TRUSTEE ITEMS 


Trustee Dr. Cuts advised 
the board that the probable 
official opening of the Ronald 
Harvey School will be Jan- 
uary 27th. He then read an 
article from Wednesday eve- 
ning’s Journal concerning 
the motion by the Edmonton 
Public School trustees to ban 
smoking at board meetings. 

The ban will also apply to 
the press and public gallery. 
Dr. Cuts felt that it was a 
great pity that this board did 
not pass a similar motion 
recently and thus lead the 
way. He did, however, hope 
that the trustees would turn 
over a new leaf in the new 
year and reconsider their 
decision. 

Chairman Bill Webber 
made notice of motions 
concerning car mileage and 
honoraria, 


Starting from square one 
again would be out of the 
question and would probably 
take up to another year’s 
study and preparation. 

So there will be no refer- 
endum on decentralizing the 
recreation complex when the 
people of St. Albert vote on 
the money bylaw, and the 
upcoming annexation of 10 
sections of land on January 
13th. 


RODEO GROUNDS 
PREDEDICATION 


On the prededication of 
the 15 acres of Oblate land 
for the complex, Coun. 
Throndson felt that council 
was rushing the issue. 

He said it would be 
smarter to refer the accept- 
ance of the land till after the 
January 13 plebiscite ‘‘rather 
than be accused of political 
gimmickry.”’ 

At this point Mayor Plain 
intervened saying ‘‘One 
would not wish to overstate 
the cost of the recreation 
complex by $625,000.”’ 

Councillor Frank Lukay 
joined in with ‘‘a major 
ratepayer expresses the de- 
sire to rededicate the land 
and I can’t see any reason to 
question it or turn it down.”’ 

Councillor Gary Wetsch 
stated that the ‘‘Oblates 
know that the prededication 
is no longer a fact if the 
people vote against the 
complex.”’ 


BROCHURE 
INFORMATION ON 
RECREATION AND 

ANNEXATION 


While council wanted to 
make sure that the public 
was adequately informed of 
the basic facts about the 
recreation complex and the 
annexation, it also wanted 
the safeguard of looking at 
the material before it went 
out to the public. The view 
was expressed that council 
would be able to make last 
minute input into the bro- 
chure before it went into St. 
Albert letter boxes. 

The latest date that council 
wanted to have the infor- 
mation from staff was Dec- 
ember 22nd. 

A pictorial display of the 
town’s proposed annexation 
may also be placed at the 
various polling stations so 
that the people are not 
confused by *‘terminology.”’ 

Going back to Mrs. Bakk- 
er's appeal for a referendum 
January 13 on a decent- 
ralized recreation complex, 
the Parks and Recreation 
Board appointee said that 
‘*by refusing the referendum 
- council's six dissenting 
members had lowered them- 
selves to the motive of 
revenge."’ 

She also said that some 
voters might feel that council 
had stepped outside its legal 
boundaries (in the matter of 
not allowing the referen- 
dum). 

As for the petitioners 
against the money bylaw, 
she felt that they were trying 
to get the local press on their 
side ‘‘which results in a 
distortion of facts and fig- 
ures,” 

She felt that groups of 
voters would each make their 
own decisions, some based 
on the fact that St. Albert 
might never be able to bear 
the lasting financial respon- 
sibility of the $5.3 million 
complex. 


End this collective blackmail 


By KENNETH McDONALD 


It’s impossible not to 
sympathize with Ottawa. 
The Government, trying 
to please everybody, 
succeeds only in offending 
us all. Its mishmash of 
welfare and make-work 
schemes encourages free- 
loaders. while failing to 
provide enough help to 
those - the aged, the in- 
firm, the dependents - 
who need it most. 


Unemployment _in- 
surance, which puts an 
ever-increasing burden on 
employer and employee 
alike, will pay out $4 billion 
this year in benefits. Of 
the beneficiaries, 37 per 
cent are under 25. Only 
28.5 per cent are heads of 
family units, while 17 per 
cent are part-time workers. 

ece 


The talent for doing the 
right things for the wrong 
people reached its peak 
when Ottawa allowed civil 
servants to strike. The 
essential services whose 
shutdown hurts the public 
most, hurts Ottawa least. 
The mail strike which 
ruins small business im- 
poses no hardship on 
Ottawa. When Canadian 
airports are struck, civil 
servants merely stay in 
Ottawa -- a not unwelcome 
development to businesses 
they would otherwise be 
harassing. 

eco 


The small business com- 
munity suffers from public 
service strikes in two 
ways: by loss of business 
through interruptions in 
essential services, especial- 
ly the mail; by the pres- 
sure on wages in the 
private sector from exces- 


sive public sector settle- 
ments. 
eee 

The wage part of 
Ottawa’s wage and price 
controls is aimed not at 
industrial trade unions, 
where settlements are 
already declining in step 
with the declining econo- 
my, but at the unchecked 
monopoly power of public 
service unions. That’s why 
the postal union heads 
tried so desperately to 
keep their strike going. 
It wasn’t the posties they 
were thinking of, but 
defeat of the Government’s 
anti-inflation program. 

eee 

The Canadian Federa- 
tion of Independent 
Business has recom- 
mended that public service 
strikes at the federal level 
be ruled out in all areas 
which prejudice public 
health and safety, or which 
result in serious economic 
damage. The collective 
blackmail of the public 
service strike must be 


‘replaced by a form of 


compulsory arbitration or 
by final offer selection, 
where each party presents 
a proposal to an impartial 
arbitrator knowing that 
one of the proposals will 
be selected and will be- 
come binding on both 
parties. This prevents 
either side from proposing 
an unreasonable solution -- 
which the arbitrator would 
be obliged to reject. 
ee0e 

Now let’s hear it for the 
tax collectors, the inspec- 
tors, the regulators, the 
designers of forms and 
returns, the _ statistics 
gatherers. They have the 
right to strike too. Why 
don’t they use it? They’d 
never be missed.

$36,472. It says the amount 
paid was $36,472 and it goes 
on to mention additional 
costs incurred within the 
terms of the agreement. The 
amount quoted is the billing 
paid to October 8, and 
represents the best informa- 
tion available when the reply 
to Mr. Iddings was prepared. 
Subsequent to this letter 
updated information on ar- 
chitect’s and construction 
management fees were com- 
piled, and presented to 
council last week. 

The figure of $101,000 
quoted in your article as 
architect’s fees at shutdown 
is incorrect. This figure 
includes architect's fees of 
$90,000, and construction 
management fees of $11,000, 
and represents the estimate 
of total fees to the date of 
stop work. That is, the 
shutdown of work approved 
by council last week, and 


brought about by a petition 
on the money.bylaw. The 
$90,000 fee represents app- 
roximately one-third of the 
total architect and engineer’s 
fee of $286,500. 

The figure of $167,000 
which you quoted as the total 
to be paid is also incorrect. 
This was the estimate of total 
architect’s and construction 
management fees IF work 
had continued until the 
plebiscite date of January 
13th. 

It’s disconcerting when a 
newspaper can’t get its facts 
straight, but when it high- 
lights its errors in bold print 
it borders on deliberate 
misrepresentation. 

One other point, Mr. 
Iddings might be somewhat 
less incredulous about mat- 
ters related to the Recreation 
Complex if he had acquain- 
ted himself with the purpose 
and content of related public 
meetings conducted by the 
Parks and Recreation Board, 
or accepted my invitation, 
twice offered by telephone, 
to meet with him and attempt 
to answer any questions he 
might have.

Need for credible 
reporting 


A weekly newspaper can 
serve as an excellent source 
of information on matters 
pertaining to civic affairs if 
the reporting is accurate and 
the publisher and editor 
follow policies that ensure 
the public is provided with a 
balanced viewpoint on var- 
ious topical issues. 

Two of the artictes con- 
tained in the December 10, 
1975 St. Albert Gazette - 
**MLA Has Reservations on 
City Status’’ and ‘‘First 
Pleased, then Incredulous"’ 
contain inaccurate and .mis- 
leading statements and one- 
sided interviews which attack 
the credibility of the local 
government. In my opinion it 
is totally improper of the 
Gazette to interview indivi 
duals who directly or in- 
directly attack a person or an 
institution without checking 
the facts or providing some 
coverage of the other point of 


view. 

li is strongly suggested 
that news stories dealing 
with local government affairs 
in St. Albert should be 
handled by the Gazette's 
municipal affairs reporter. 
This would ensure that the 
reporting would be left in the 
hands of an individual repor- 
ter who does not have any 
‘political axes to grind.” 

In closing, it is submitted 
that the citizens of St. Albert 
are quite capable of formu- 
lating their own opinions. 
The news information con- 
iained in Gazette articles 
should not be slanted and 
biased to a degree which 
prevents the individual resi- 
dent from formulating an 
unbiased opinion based on 
the facts of the matter. 


Dr. R.H.M. Plain 
Mayor.

Hospital commended 


We would like to take this 
opportunity to commend 
those staff members of 
Sturgeon General Hospital 
who helped us through a 
difficult time. : 

Recently our 13 month old 
son was admitted to the 
hospital. He was suffering 
from a fairly severe croup 
attack. 

From the time he was 
admitted at the emergency 
desk to the time he was 


discharged we were impres- 
sed with the speed and 
efficiency with which the 
nurses and doctors worked. 
We were equally impressed 
with the warmth and under- 
standing exhibited by the 
staff. 

We are indeed fortunate to 
have such a great staff of 
medical personnel in our 
hospital. 


Dr. and Mrs. L. Penner 
Braeside. 


to the Editor 


Waste of money 


Petitioners are fast arriv- 
ing to the conclusion that the 
proposed _multi-recreation 
complex would be more 
appropriately named St. Al- 
bert’s Great White Elephant. 

It has been discovered that 
other complexes with nearly 
the exact, same, facilities 
have been built in the last 
three years at one-third of 
the price of the reported cost 
of this presently proposed 
complex which has been 
recommended to the taxpay- 
er of St. Albert by certain 
members of the town council. 

When this was stated at a 
recent private meeting held 
with certain members of 
council and town staff, the 
petitioners soon realized that 
the council members present 
did not have any answers on 
rebuttals in which they could 
suggest that facilities could 
not be built for approxi- 
mately “ of the price of their 
present scheme. 

We find it difficult to 
believe that council, after 
stating that they had worked 
nine long hard months on 
this present project, have so 
little facts that they cannot 
put a redlistic rebuttal when 
pertinant questions are ask- 
ed about their proposed 
complex. 

Councillor Breadner re- 
porting to council Monday 
night on the meeting with us, 
told council that the peti- 
tioners were not concerned 


with the magnitude of the 
costs, which was totally 
incorrect. What we said was 
that if the taxpayers are 
going to spend six million 
dollars, they could have 
three complexes of this 
nature, which could be built 
one at a time On a pay as you 
go basis, and save tax dollars 
which will now go for interest 
on the borrowing. 

As to the Administrator’s 
question did the petitioners 
wish council to ‘‘withdraw”’ 
the bylaw, naturally we 
answered yes. Because why 
would anybody request a 
plebiscite if they were in 
agreement with the proposed 
borrowing stipulated in the 
bylaw? 

We would suggest that 
council may have been led 
down the garden path and 
are now attempting to save 
their political ego’s by dis- 
torting the real facts even 
further. 

We will attempt to put the 
real facts of recreation 
facilities to the taxpayers of 
St. Albert in the coming 
weeks either in the Gazette 
or in a brochure, or in both, 
so that it will be plain to see 
why we feel that we are 
presently not getting our 
money's worth.

Spokesman for the 
Petitioners.

Changes in Federal 
law enforcement 


policies 


All of St. Albert's muni- 
cipal policing functions are 
carried out by the RCMP. 
This arrangement has proven 
to be a satisfactory arr- 
angement both from the 
viewpoint of the citizens and 
the **force."* 

Recently, it has been 
drawn to our attention that 
the Federal Government is 
contemplating reducing the 
Federal portion of the exist- 
ing RCMP conditional grant 
programs. In addition it has 
been mooted that the Federal 
Government was unwilling to 
meet the future RCMP man- 
power requirement of var- 
ious Alberta municipalities. 
In effect, our community 
could be left without the 
means of obtaining the 
proper complement of RCMP 
personnel needed to main- 
tain law and order in the 
community. 

The St. Albert Council has 
reacted vigorously to these 
proposals by indicating our 
support of the Provincial 
Solicitor General's strong 
protest to Ottawa opposing 


JEREMIAH 17 VERSE 7: 
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and 


whose hope the Lord is. 


any cut-backs either in the 
crucial manpower area or in 
the level of conditional grant 
support. The council has 
forwarded a letter to the 
Solicitor General in Ottawa 
asking for his commitment to 
meet our present and future 
law-enforcement require- 
ments. Requests have also 
been made to the Canadian 
Federation of Mayors and 
Municipalities and the Al- 
berta Urban Municipal As- 
sociation to intervene on both 
our behalf and on behalf of 
other Western Canadian 
municipalities. It is hoped 
that these actions will assist 
the Federal Government in 
comprehending the depth of 
our concern regarding any 
proposed changes in law 
enforcement programs which 


-will impair the effectiveness 


of the RCMP’s operations in 
St. Albert. 

I hope to be able to inform 
you of the outcome of our 
efforts early in the new year. 


Dr. R.H.M. Plain 
Mayor.

The St. Albert Fire De- 
partment were called out to a 
fire at Riverside Sales just 
north of the Sturgeon River 
on Highway Two last Sunday 
afternoon. 

Two fire trucks arrived at 
the fire which caused about 
$20,000 damage according to 


$20,000 fire damage at Riverside Sales 


Art Perrott, the brother of 
the manager of Riverside, 
Ron Perrott. 

According to a spokesman 
for the St. Albert Fire 
Department the fire was 
under control at 2:25 p.m., 
when the first truck arrived 
to extinguish the blaze. 


Seniors having 
busy season 


On Wednesday, December 
17, the St. Albert Lions’ Club 
have been kind enough to 
arrange for a bus tour of the 
Edmonton Christmas illum- 
inations which will start from 
the Centre at around 6 or 
6:15 p.m. Those who have 
indicated that they would like 
to go are already aware of the 
arrangements. After the 
tour, which will probably 
take 1‘ - 2 hours, coffee and 
cake will be served at the 
Centre. 

The results of the whist 
party held on Tuesday, 
December 16 turned out to 
be quite a family affair. Mrs. 
Bernadette Morin and Mr. 
Ben Morin won first prizes 
while the consolation prizes 
went to Mrs. Louise Borle 
and Mr. Edward Borle. The

afternoon - it’s a ‘‘special 
event."’ The St. Albert 
Kinsmen Club will be runn- 
ing a Christmas bingo for the 
Seniors at 7 p.m., in the 
Centre and this should prove 
to be another highlight in a 
busy Christmas season. 

Bowling will soon be over

December 18 will be the last 
chance to bow! from 9:30 - 
11:30 a.m. in 1975. The next 
bowling morning will be on 
Thursday, January 8, 1976. 

Mr. Russell Naves has 
been seeing to it that the 
Centre is open on Tuesday 
and Friday evenings from 7 - 
9 p.m. for dropping in to 
watch television, chat, read 
or play pool, etc. Friday, 
December 19 will be the last 
of these ‘drop-in’ evenings 
ull Tuesday, January 6, 
1976. 


UNWANTED HAIR REMOVED PERMANENTLY 


The spokesman for the 
Fire Department added that 
the fire trucks were at the 
scene of the blaze for about 
one a half hours, making 
sure the fire was out. 

The fire was restricted to 
one end of the building, said 
Mr. Perrott, but the frame- 
work held. Part of the 
building will have to be 
rebuilt, he added.

cycles and snowmobiles. 


Shout in 
silence - 
art by 
deaf 


A special exhibition of 
paintings and graphics by 
deaf and hard-of-hearing 
children and adults will open 
at The Edmonton Art Gallery 
on December 30. Entitled 
Shout in Silence: Visual Arts 
and the Deaf, the exhibition 
was organized by Rawley A. 
Silver and is being circulated 
by the Smithsonian Insti- 
tution, 

The 44 works in the 
exhibition were produced by 
Mrs. Silver's students in 
experimental art classes she 
conducted in New York City, 
and demonstrate the tre- 
mendous value that art plays 
as the expression of abstract 
thinking and emotions for 
non-verbal people. 

The subjects of the works 
done by students ranging 
from 8 to 2S years of age vary 
greatly. The general cate- 
gories are abstract thinking, 
imaginary play, remember- 
ing, emotional outlet, per- 
sonal involvement, control 
over environment, and clues 
to interests and concerns. 
These are the fields in which 
the deaf find difficulty in 
expressing their thoughts 
and feelings, due to their 
lack of language ability. 

A young boy when ins- 
tructed to paint something 
that he liked, produced a 
self-portrait from which the 
title of the exhibition is 
drawn, ‘‘Shout in Silence." 
The agony of the deaf per- 
son's inability to communi- 
cate is sensitively depicted, 
and the importance of the 
subject to the artist is 
indicated by his production 
of another version some four 
years later. 


The exhibition closes on 
January 20, 1976.

While the St. Albert Fire 
Department had detailed two 
vehicles for the fire, one was 
unable to make it after 
skidding on the icy inter- 
section at the top of Perron 
Street and Sir Winston 
Churchill Avenue. 


Another truck was dis- 
patched immediately follow- 
ing this incident. 

The spokesman for the 
Fire Department said that 
only minor damage was 
sustained by the fire truck 
and it was back in service 


Sunday night, two and a half 
hours after the accident. 

At the time of the fire, 
manager Ron Perrott was in 
a state of blissful ignorance, 
speeding along the ice at a 
hockey game in Riviere Qui 
Barre.

Council Briefs 


Edmonton is prepared to 
enter a new agreement with 
St. Albert on fire protection 
since any agreements now in 
effect will end by mid-Jan- 
uary. 

New contracts between 
Edmonton and other munici- 


figures 


carports, $1,942; 37 im- 
provements, $60,974, and 
one industrial, $70,000. 

Five institutional permits 
were issued for a total of 
$1,605,400. 

These institutional permits 
cover the $1,224,400 Paul 
Kane addition, and founda- 
tion permits for the St. 
Albert Parish, $197,000, the 
Akinsdale Community Cen- 
tre, $60,000, a fieldhouse, 
135 Larose Drive, $52,000 
and a fieldhouse at 51 
Flagstone Crescent, also 
$52,000. 


palities will be negotiated on 
a charge of $300 for the first 
hour plus an extra $200 for 
each piece of equipment 
used in answering the call. 

Councillor Margaret Smith 
said that she could not recall 
when Edmonton had been 
called to help in a town fire, 
but the agreement would be 
good back up particularly 
since the rates were based on 
use and not the retention of 
the agreement.

“IT APPEARS TO BE AN 
AWFUL DRAG,”’ | said 
Councillor Rod Throndson 
referring to the agreement 


between the town and Abbey - 


Glen on the shopping centre 
for St. Albert. 

‘‘We all agree,’’ smiled 
Mayor Dick Plain. 

“Thank you,’’ said Coun. 
Throndson, with mock gall- 
antry. 

Mayor Plain said he would 
provide council with all the 
particulars on a_ recent 


meeting with the town and 

Abbey Glen, and all the 

correspondence between 

them on the shopping centre 

agreement. The particulars 

would come in a week’s time. 
** ee 

ST. ALBERT AND ED- 
MONTON could be having a 
meeting early February to 
discuss budgetary matters. 
The annexation issue and the 
matter of joint utilization of 
utilities and transportation 
could also come uf at the 
meeting. 

This came up when the 
mayor told council of his 
recent meeting with the 
mayor of Edmonton. 

A meeting with the Ad Hoc 
Water Committee may also 
be in the wind the mayor 
indicated. This would help 
St. Albert to resolve its water 
rate issue without taking the 
route of the Public Utilities 
Board. 

Council generally approv- 
ed the idea of this meeting 


and the results of it will be 
brought back to council.

IN QUESTION AND AN-

people of Grandin Park had 
told him that the cost of their

the town’s approach to 
multiple family dwellings

tead, expanded on the many 
challenges this rodeo would 
have as far as the amount of 
personal dedication that 
would be involved. 
Complete new grounds, 


bleachers etc., will have to 
be built as Rodeo 115 moves 
to a new location (1 mile east 
on the Sturgeon Road). As 
previously reported the mid- 


way and rodeo contracts have 
been signed and now the real 
work begins. Committees 
have been set up and will 
begin in earnest after the 


new year. 

The Kinsmen would like to 
again assure the people of St. 
Albert that Rodeo 115 is 
definitely going to be. 


Legion gives delightful party 


The spirit of Christmas 
abounded on Sunday after- 
noon, December 14 in the St. 
Albert Senior Citizens’ Cen- 
tre when senior citizens were 
the guests of the St. Albert 
Branch of the Royal Cana- 
dian Legion. 

Instead of holding their 
usual children's Christmas 
party, the Legion decided 
that this year they would 
entertain the members of the 
Senior Citizens’ Club. Reg 
Bremner, president, got the 
ball rolling by asking Eileen 
Gibbon and Denny Taylor to 
convene the affair and they 
and their ‘‘support staff"’ are 
to be congratulated on the 
results of their hard work. 

It was a very happy 
occasion with all the ingre- 
dients of a successful Christ- 
mas party. An excellent meal 
was prepared and served by 
members of the Ladies Aux- 
iliary; there were refresh- 
ments; there was entertain- 
meni, a sing-along and a visi! 
from Santa Claus. Nothing 
was missed. 

Eileen and Denny were 
ably assisted by the presi- 
dent of the Ladies Auxiliary. 
Marie Eschak, Florence Bitt- 
man, June Kendall, Joanne 
Cockwill and Betty Bremner 
as well as Eileen’s husband. 
Ray and daughter and 
son-in-law, Brenda and Brian 
Siothart. Other members of 
the Ladies Auxiliary contri- 
buted to the meal and a huge 
box of chocolates, donated by 
Shirley Sorsdahl, president- 
elect of the Auxiliary, was 
passed round. June Kendall 
had baked an out-sized cake 
and as the sparklers on it 
burned down, everyone sang 
‘Silent Night. Holy Night.” 

Ollie Kendall was an 
excellent M.C. - kept things 
moving and there was never 
a dull momeni. Marg ai the 
piano and Rick on drums 
accompanied Doris who sang 
and conducted the sing-along 
which included carols and 
many of the “goodies” of the 
past. They seemed tireless as 
they responded to the many 
requests for old favorites. 
And then Santa Claus arrived 
in traditional fashion, ho-ho- 
ho-ed his way round the 
room, kissed quite indis- 
criminately and handed out 
gifts to the boys and girls. (11 


is understood that a Mr. Joe 
Clark of Edmonton has a 
duo-personality and he play- 
ed the role of the man in red 
to perfection). 

After the Legion had been 
thanked by Mrs. Alice 


Kemps, president of the 
Senior Citizens Club, Ollie 
Kendall wound up the pro- 
ceedings and hinted that the 
party could become an 
annual event. There is no 
doubt about the success of 


this year’s party; the won- 
derful time everyone had was 
reflected in the happy faces 
of the ‘‘seniors”’ as they left 
the Centre. So - here’s to 
1976 and more power to the 
Legion!

The French Playschool is 
planning a very eventful 
Christmas program this Th- 
ursday, December 18, under 
the leadership of Mme. 
Florence Lefebvre and assis- 
tant leader, Mme. Jeanne 
Bourgeois. Parents and rela- 
tives of the tots are welcome 
to come and share this happy 
experience with the children. 
The program will start off 
with a Christmas craft sess- 
ion to enable parents to see 
how the children are pro- 
gressing in instruction crafts. 
This will be followed by a 
medley of songs the children 
have learned since Septem- 
ber and includes Christmas 
songs in French as well. 
Then the Christmas pageant 
will begin with the children 
dressed as angels, Joseph, 
Mary, lambs, cattle, sheph- 


erds and kings. 

Joseph and Mary start 
their walk to Jerusalem only 
to find no lodging at the Inn. 
After some searching and 
knocking on doors, they seek 
out a stable where Baby 
Jesus will be born. The 
angels, shepherds and cattle 
watch over Baby Jesus and 
the Kings then present Baby 
Jesus with their gifts of gold, 
frankincense and myrrh. 

After the pageant, the 
children will enjoy their 
lunch with parents, and rela- 
tives, then lo and behold, 
Pere Noel, (Santa Claus) 
arrives by surprise from the 
North Pole and has a very 
warm visit with the children 
plus goodies in his sack for 
each child. This will make 
the finale of a wonderful 
Christmas party.

Assessment and evalua- 


St. Albert Safety Council 


By Betty Pimblett 

The St. Albert Safety 
Council's last meeting of the 
year was held on December 
11th. 

A letter had been received 
from the Alberta Safety 
Council stating that the 
Board of Directors have 


~granted a Provisional Char- 


ter to the St. Albert Safety 
Council, taking effect on 
December 8, 1975. 

This enables the local 
council to acquire materials 
and assistance from the 
Alberta Safety Council for all 
their programs in which we 
participate. Our plans for the 
coming year include all the 
Alberta Safety Council's 
programs in addition to some 
local concerns. 

The school bus brief is still 


under discussion. Details 
have been sought from the 
Ontario authorities on their 
change in legislation, pre- 
viously reported, to ascertain 
how these can be adapted 
here. 

The next defensive driving 
course will start on Tuesday, 
January 13 at 7:30 p.m. 
Location is not yet decided. 
An ad will be inserted in the 
Gazette later. 

The budget, prepared at 
the last meeting, was pre- 
sented to and approved by 
the Social Services Board, 
and will now go to Town 
Council for approval. 

There is to be a program 
on Capital Cable TV during 
the latter part of February on 
Stresses and Strains, in 
co-operation with the Cana- 
dian Mental Health Asso- 
ciation. The Safety Council 
feels that, at this point in the 
year, many house-bound 
mothers are under consider- 
able strain, and an under- 
standing of the reason for 
this and knowledge of the 
help available would be most 
helpful to them. 

There was discussion on 
the St. Albert Trail, Hebert 
and Gervais roads inter- 
section. This is recognized as 
the most dangerous inter- 
section in the town. Under 


NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR: 


CHRISTMAS 


icy conditions, partly be- 
cause of the short duration of 
the amber light on the Trail, 
it is particularly hazardous. 

Motorists are asked to 
remember that, until a 
change in this can be 
effected, there is only a four 
second amber light on the 
Trail, and to slow down 
accordingly. 

Future meetings will be 
held on the second and 
fourth Tuesday of the month, 
the first in the New Year to 
be on January 6 at 8 p.m., at 
Robert Rundle School. In- 
terested new members are 
welcome. 


SEASONAL SAFETY TIPS 


1. Keep that Christmas 
tree well watered. Put out 
any tree that becomes very 
dry. The fire hazard is 
considerable. 

2. Take care where you 
store used wrapping paper -- 
NOT near furnaces, water 
heaters etc. 

3. Don’t overdo the Chr- 
istmas light display -- it's 
only too easy to overload the 
electrical circuits -- and an 
overloaded circuit could 
cause a disastrous fire. 

Happy Christmas to Gaz- 
ette readers from your Safety 
Council. 


Wishas! 


ARMAND DONAIS 


tion of existing programs and 
the termination of obsolete 
and duplicated services will 
be part of the council’s work, 
aiong with providing assur- 
ance that funds assigned to 
hospital programs are effec- 
tively utilized. 

Mr. Donais has served on 
the St. Albert Town Council 
and is presently a member of 
the Sturgeon Hospital Board. 


90 STUDENTS SKIING 


The Tuesday skiing trips to 
Lake Eden are into their 
second of four weeks. Over 
90 students are enjoying 
these economical trips. 

The Mover’s just had a 
super dance on Saturday, 
December 6, with the band 
Shadowfax. On Saturday, 
December 13, they held a 
Gather-In, and coming up 
are two Christmas carolling 
events open to everyong: one 
is on Saturday, December 20 
at the Charles Camsell Hos- 
pital and the second is 
Tuesday the 23rd in St. 
Albert. Proceeds from the 
second event go towards 
financing the H.C.V. project. 

The Yearbook committee 
has announced the 1976 
executive: Sharon McRae, 
editor; Brian Grant, assistant 
editor; and Alex Berze, 
sports editor. 

Pitch are presently busy 
fund-raising for their Quebec 
tour coming up in June. Theys 
had a big chocolate drive in 
St. Albert and Edmonton a 
few weeks ago, and another 
one in Sherwood Park last 
Monday, December 15. Pitch 
and Spice have also held 
quite a few bake sales in an 


effort to raise money. Lately, 
Mini-Pitch have been per- 
forming their Christmas pro- 
gram at the Kinsmen Field 
House on Saturday the 13th; 
for the children at Fort 
Saskatchewan Arena Sunday 
the 14th; and coming up at 
SAHS Christmas program 
and at Midnight Mass Ch- 
ristmas Eve. Their recording 
will be made on Saturday, 
January 31, 1976. 

The school celebrated its 
great Christmas Mass Tues- 
day morning. The Liturgical 
Committee did a fine job 
organizing the celebration. 

Finally, season's greetings 
to everyone from all at St. 
Albert High!

A lovely autumn candle- 
light wedding was solem- 
nized in the Salisbury United 
Church on the evening of 
Saturday, October 18, when 
Dolores Shirley Dyck ex- 
changed wedding vows with 
Ronald Clifford Deane. Rev. 


- D. Lynn performed the 


double ring ceremony for the 
eldest daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Henry Dyck of Sher-

Share your holiday vitality 


The hope and warmth 
kindled by a candle flame 
takes on added meaning 
during the holiday season. 
Around a candle-lit table or 
in front of a glowing fireplace 
we share food, gifts and 
light-hearted laughter with 
loved ones. 

During the holiday season 
we are reminded that our 
vitality can be shared with 
others in many different 
ways. 

‘Come in out of the cold. 
Slow down the whirlwind 
hustle. Relax, and give 
blood. It takes only 30 
minutes of your time. Th- 
ere’s a warm welcome and a 
cup of coffee waiting for you 
at your local Red Cross blood 
donor clinic. 

As the spirit of the season 
surrounds you, keep in mind 
that the need for blood 
increases during the winter 
months. Because the number 
of highway accidents in- 
creases at this time of year, 
hospitals have a greater need 
for blood. And because 
holiday activities keep us 
busier than ever, we tend to 
put off donating blood until 
things calm down. But pat- 
ients in need can’t wait. 

You can help prevent a 
blood shortage by taking just 
a half hour to give the gift of 
life. Your special effort can 
play a vital role in helping 
others enjoy the holiday 


season. 
This time of year brings 
with it the glow of rose 


cheeks and sparkling eyes. 
Share your health and 


vitality. Give blood this 
holiday season.

ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1975 - 


Mr. Joe Courtepatte, alco- 
holic counsellor at O’Mera 
Lodge, was guest speaker at 
the November meeting of the 
St. Albert Nurses Interest 
Group. He discussed the 
phases of alcoholism, stres- 
sing that alcohol is a liquid 
drug and alcoholism is an 
illness which can affect 
anyone. It can begin in a 
teen-ager as early as 12 and 
can progress to the late stage 
by the time he is 1S. 
Certainly. alcoholism is a 
serious problem in today’s 
society. 


THE EARLY STAGE 


The individual develops an 
emotional need for alcohol. 
He has learned to accept the 
effect that alcohol gives and 
drinks for this effect. He 
experiences blackouts (tem- 
porary lapses of memory)

Speaker on alcoholism sparked 
keen interest at nurses meeting 


and has a high tolerance for 
alcohol, never seeming to get 
easily intoxicated; he can 
drink nearly anyone under 
the table. 

The frequency of alcoholic 
intake increases; if he was a 
once a montl. drinker, it is 
now weekly; if weekly, it 
becomes daily. He finds that 
it takes more alcohol to get a 
“high;’’ he drinks more and 
needs more to get the same 
effect. During this stage, he 
begins sneaking drinks and 
becomes preoccupied with 
drinking. He will order three 
or four drinks immediately, 
gulp down the first couple 
then more slowly consume 
the rest. Drink has become a 
craving. People close to him 
will notice a change in his 
behaviour and attitudes. 

By the end or this early 
stage, he is dependent on 
alcohol, a process that may

only take months or a few 
years. Some individuals nev- 
er go past this stage. 


PHASE TWO - 
LOSS OF CONTROL 


The person is completely 
dependent on alcohol and 
cannot stop with just one 
drink; he has lost.control. He 
begins an alibi system, 
rationalizations which are 
very real to him but are only 
excuses - I drink because I 
am under pressure, etc. 

Men are especially prone 
to extravagances. His cheque 
is immediately cashed and if 
siagle, will order expensive 
or exotic foods and drink to 
treat all his buddies, having 
a fling until all his money is 
gone. If married, he will buy 
extravagant but unnecessary 
gifts for his wife and 
children, forgetting about 
ordinary things as food, rent, 
etc. They feel if they drink 
expensive alcohol, they are 
not alcoholic because every- 
one knows that those people 
drink cheap wine or beer. 


REJECTION & REMORSE 


He experiences rejection 
by his family, friends and 
associates. Remorse sets in 
and the individual attempts 
to stop drinking. He may try 
professional help. However if 
he falls off the wagon, his 
drinking becomes worse. The 
family starts withdrawing 
their support. 

During this stage he 
becomes hospitalized be- 
cause of injuries received 
while falling, from being 
robbed or from alcoholic 
seizures. He may suffer from 
DT's or depression. He 
experiences resentment and 
PLOM (poor little old me). 
Problems develop with his 
sex life; he has an increased 
sex drive combined with 
impotence. 

He attempts geographic 
escapes but unfortunately 
your *'self’’ goes with you so

the problem still exists. 
Arrests take place for driving 
while drinking or other 
intoxieated behaviour. 


THE SITUATION 
WORSENS 


Self prescribed medication 
for hangovers are left ready 
when he goes out. He knows 
he will drink too much, or 
will be sick, so he prepares 
for his hango-er eg. two 
bottles of beer are opened 
and allowed to go flat and 
warm. He begins squirrelling 
drinks, hiding bottles all over 
so they are accessible when 
he runs out of his regular 
stock (provided he can find 
them) and so he doesn’t have 
to share them. 

Divorce or separation oc- 
cur. 

These people are infamous 
for smoking in bed, often 
setting fire to the mattress. 
They will have burns on their 
fingers and clothing caused 
by drinking and smoking, 
then passing out. These 
burns take a long time to heal 
as the individual has a poor 
state of nutrition. 

This stage takes many 
years usually and the alco- 
holic may never pass out of 
this phase. 


FINAL OR LATE STAGE 

The alcoholic goes on his 
first bender, weeks or 
months of blind, uncontroll- 
able drinking, anytime, any- 
where and anything. He may 
drink lysol, melted down 
records, mouthwash, vanilla, 


roll-on deodorant, etc. Re- 
peated benders occur, and it

takes longer to recover from 
them. They feel they can’t 
close their eyes because of 
the very frightening, but 
‘treal’’ images which are 
projected when they try to 
sleep. Wounds heal very 
slowly. 

By this time the individual 
has little tolerance for al- 
cohol; one drink will make 
him drunk. He is unable to 
hold down jobs or even get a 
job. Arrests take place fre- 
quently; he will have been in 
either a psych ward or 
mental hospital. He is beset 
by nameless fezrs which are 
very real to him. 

The alibi system collapses; 
the need to rationalize 
drinking no longer exists. He 
is unshaven, is incontinent 
(perhaps for weeks), has no 
interest in his appearance. 
He will show signs of cirr-

and physical damage has 
occurred. 

Mr. Courtepatte felt that 
the effects of alcoholism 
were worse than heroin 
addiction. Scare tactics do 
not work with alcoholics, 
Counselling, especially by 
lay persons, is more effective 
in obtaining success; they 
need support and to have 
someone available. The in- 
dividual seeks help not 
because he is an alcoholic but 
because he is an unhappy 
alcoholic. Alcoholics do not 
have a drinking problem but 
a sobriety problem; they 
know how to drink but not 
how to stay sober! 

The group showed great 
interest in Mr. Courtepatte's 
subject and expressed app- 
reciation for his very interes- 
ting discussion. The next 
meeting of the St. Albert 
Nurses Interest Group will be 
held February 17, 1976.

Generals bomb Penguins 


in Grande Centre 


By Larry Mitchell 

St. Albert Standard Gen- 
erals picked up an easy four 
points over the weekend with 
a pair of lopsided wins over 
Grande Centre Penquins. 

Generals left for Grande 
Centre Saturday afternoon 
and upon arriving in the 
northern town knew things 
were going to work out just 
fine. The Bee Jay Motor Inn, 
where the team stayed over- 
night had a marquee board 
with ‘Welcome St. Albert’’ 
on it. Generals took it to 
heart and won 10-0 Saturday 
night and 12-0 Sunday 
afternoon. 

St. Albert started slow in 
the opening period with 
Roger Meunier and Barry 
Medori finding the range. 
Chris Hoffart and Medori’s 
second goal gave Generals a 
4-0 lead after two periods. 
Generals had complete con- 
trol of the game and between 
periods the team felt they 
could score at least six more. 

That’s exactly what happ- 
ened as Pat Frewer, Gary 
Ferguson, Claude Regim- 
bald, Denis Gagne, Scott 
Ballentine and Terry Kieser 
scored in succession. Kieser, 
who had earlier been named 
captain while lan Langridge 
is recuperating from a knee 
injury, scored the final goal 
with two minutes to play in 
the game. 

Defenseman Chris Hoffart 
had an excellent night on the 


blueline scoring once and . 


assisting on four others. 
Generals received some ex- 
cellent netminding from 
Norbert Schultz as he re- 
corded his first shutout of the 
year. 

At the pre-game meal on 
Sunday, the whole team felt 
they could have played better 
Saturday and set their goals 
total at an even dozen for the 
second game. 

Medori, Lister and Fergu- 
son scored in the opening 
period for a 3-0. lead. 
Meunier, Ferguson, Kieser 
and Medori tallied in the 
second for a 7-0 lead after 
two periods which left them 
to score five in the final 20 
minutes. Hoffart started 
things off early scoring with 
only 27 seconds gone in the 
period. Generals then went 
another 10 minutes before 
Ferguson scored his third of 
the game. A minute later he 
scored again to put Generals 


ahead 10-0 and two behind 
schedule. Regimbald added 
the 11th at 17.21 and on the 
same shift Terry Kieser 
rapped in the 12th at 17.30. 

Ferguson also picked up 
three assists to go along with 
his four goals for a fine seven 
point game: 


TERRY KIESER 


Gil Bilodeau had a fine 
afternoon on defense and 
chipped in with four assists. 

Generals outshot the Pen- 
quins 64 - 21. 


GIL BILODEAU 


Coach John Ewen felt the 
team played fairly well 
during the series and was 
happy with his defense and 
goaltending. Both Wayne 


‘White and Norbert Schultz, 


although not overworked, 
made many fine saves and 
each stopped breakaways. 
White also drew an assist on 
one of Ferguson’s goals. 
Ewen was also pleased 
with his penalty killing team 
of Dave Grice and Scott 
Ballentine. Both played very 
well, forcing Penquins to 
give up the puck in their own 
end numerous times, Ballen- 
tine also found time to score 


once and assist on four 
others while Grice added a 
pair of helpers. 

The two games produced 
22 goals and 40 assists and 
brought some of the players 
averages up. In 14 league 
games the team is now 9-5 in 
the won-lost column and they 
have scored 77 times while 
allowing 51. 

In other Central Alberta 
Junior League action over 
the weekend, Vermilion took 
St. Paul 7-3 and Wainwright 
beat Barrhead 10-6, 

Generals next game will be 
this Sunday in St. Paul for a 
game against the Canadiens. 
Generals have 8-3 and 6-1 
wins over the Canadiens in 
earlier games.

Weekend victories leave Balers on top rung 


Although the Balers were 
outshot by Sherwood Park, 
goalie Ron Malo held them to 
a 6-4 count. 

It was a hard hitting game 
with some excellent passing 
plays. 

The game was tied four all 
with five minutes to go in the 
last period. The Balers then 
got two to put the game 
away. 


Scorers for the Balers were 
Holliday, Myck and Kelly 
with unassisted goals, and 
Gray, Hammett and Poulin 
finishing off. Assists went to 
Sander with two, Myck, Gray 
and Holliday with one 
apiece. 

The Quebec peewee trip 
fund for the Balers is in need 
of support. We urge people 
to buy tickets on the Micro- 


wave Oven, and attend our 
bingo in January. The boys 
are planning another bottle 
drive after Christmas. As we 
are the only Western team 
represented in the tourna- 
ment we solicit your support. 

Next Baler action is 
Saturday, Dec. 20 in the St. 
Albert Arena at 11:45 against 
Leduc.

helps 
injured boy 


At a directors meeting of 
the Central Alberta Junior 
Hockey League in Edmonton 
Monday night, the league 
presented a cheque for 
$1,000 to Rocky Blair of 
Jasper. 

Rocky was a member of 
the Jasper Mountaineers 
junior team last season and 
was badly cut in the throat 
area during a league game. 
He still has not recovered 
completely and the cheque 
will help defray some of the 
medical costs. 

The money has come out of 
a league fund for individual 
player and team fines so that 
each player and club is 
indirectly contributing to the 
award. 

The Central Alberta Junior

Barons well ahead 


With almost one-third of 
the North Central Midget 
Hockey League by the 
boards, the St. Albert Sport- 
shop Barons appear well on 
their way to clinching the 
league championship. 

And although there re- 
mains a lot of hockey to play 
in the 28-game, eight-team 
schedule, the question is 
beginning to surface, ‘‘Just 
who will beat the Barons?"’ 

St. Albert, with nine 
games under its belt, have 
eight victories and a tie, and 
a three game lead over its 
closest competitor, Stettler. 

Thursday in St: Albert the 
Barons coasted to a convinc- 
ing 7-4 win over Ponoka, and 
Sunday in Camrose the St. 
Albert representatives easily 
handled Camrose 6-0. 

Unfortunately for the Bar- 
ons, the easy wins may hurt 
the team’s chances in next 
week's Wrigley provincial 
championship in Grande 
Prairie. 

There has been very little 
“‘tough’’ competition in the 
league, and when the Barons 
play the type of hockey they 
are capable of playing, there 
isn't a team that can catch 
them. 

It will be slightly different 
in Grande Prairie however, 


CHRISTMAS 
ACTIVITY DAYS 


If you're not sure what to 
do with your children during 
the holiday, a supervised

Standard Generals in an 
exhibition encounter 9:30 
p-m. tonight in Calahoo, and 
then play five league games 
in the next seven days. 

The Barons leave Christ- 
mas Day for Grande Prairie, 
although the details of the 
draw have not yet been 
finalized.

vel to Ponoka for a 8:30 p.m. 
game, then travel to Drayton 
Valley for a match 8:30 p.m.

Our plans for last weekend

Saturday. 

Sunday the Barons are 
back in St. Albert for a 7:30 
p.m. game against Leduc; 
travel to Camrose for a 8:45 
p.m. game Monday, and 
then return to St. Albert 
Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. 
game against Wetaskiwin. 

In last Thursday's 7-4 win 
over Ponoka, the Barons 
waltzed through the motions 
for two periods and fell 
behind 4-3 to the same team 
they had whitewashed 7-0 
just 10 days earlier. 

But in the third it was a 
different story as the Barons 
poured on the pressure and 
scored four straight goals, 
outshooting Ponoka 15-2.

cancelled. There will be no 
more tours arranged until the 
new year but if you would

assist each in the win, while 
other goals went to Ken 
Strand, Dave Shipanoff, Paul

Jeff Harmon. 

For Ron Sander, it was his 
10th goal in league en- 
counters, while Kreway, a 
first year player, notched his 
ninth. 

Dominac Hollman scored 
twice for Ponoka, with 
singles going to James Able 
and Mike Dahms. 

St. Albert took nine of 14 
penalties called in the game, 
all minors. 

In Sunday's conquest of 
Camrose, goaltenders Glen 
McRae and Dennis Lafleur 
combined to turn aside 19 
shots for the shutout. 

St. Albert played excellent 
hockey in the first period, 
picking up two goals from 


Ron Sander and a third from 
Graham Brown, for a well- 
deserved 3-0 lead. 

The team coasted. in the 
second with Larry Sander 
notching another, and then 
played only as hard as they 
had to in the third to 
preserve the shutout, with 
Gilbert Longpre and Murray 
Riddell picking up singles. 

The Barons outshot the 
hometown Camrose midgets 
39-19, including 18-7 in the 
first period, and 11-2 in the 
third, 

Because of their partici- 
pation in the Wrigley tour- 
nament, a Dec. 26 game in 
Leduc and a Dec. 28 game in 
St. Albert against Fort 
Saskatchewan have had to be 
postponed. No date has been 
set for the Leduc rematch, 
while the Barons will host 
Fort Saskatchewan January

By Marg Bentz 
Barry Flynn of Flynn's 


Feed Service turned out to be 
the ‘Giant Killer’’ in Morin- 
ville’s Fun Spiel when he 
shot down the ‘‘Hec Ger- 
vais’’ Sunday evening, De- 
cember 14th to take first in 
the *‘A’’ event. 

Jim Vervynck captured 
first in the ‘‘B,’’ while the 
Harvey Stelte rink got second 
- Gus Theophile took top 
honours in the ‘‘C’’ event 


Flynn rink wins Morinville spiel 


and J. L. Rousseau received 
second. 

Hec Gervais was alive and 
well on Saturday, December 
13th when his rink captured 
that rare ‘eight ender.’’ Hec 
claims to have some 7,000 
games to his credit yet says 
that this is only his fourth 
perfect end; which gives the 
reader some idea of how 
tough they are to come by 
and makes one realize the 
prizes which accompany such 


$5,000 bank grab 
in Gibbons 


A thief made off with 
about $5,000 from the 
Gibbons Branch of the Royal 
Bank just before one o'clock 
last Monday afternoon. 

Bank Manager Ed Akar- 
strom said he believed the 
thief had a gun from what his 
bank teller told him. The 
thief simply put a note in 
front of the teller with the 
request for the money and 
apparently there was no vio- 
lence. 

Mr. Akarstrom had just 
returned to the bank at 1 
p-m., after his lunch break 
when he was informed of the 
robbery. No customers were 
present in the bank at the 
time of the incident. Three 
employees, a teller, proof 
teller, and an accountant 
were on duty at the time of 
the theft. 

Mr. Akarstrom said that 
this was the first time he had 
experienced a bank robbery 
while he had been working in 
banks. 

A spokesman for the Mor- 
inville detachment of the 
RCMP said that road blocks 
were put up around the 
Gibbons area for an extended 
period and all traffic coming 
from that point was checked. 
They were aware of the 
robbery after 10 minutes and 
the RCMP spokesman con- 
fessed some disappointment 
that the culprit had eluded 
their net. He pointed out that 
the thief could have made it 
to Edmonton by the time 
RCMP got their road blocks 
set up. 

‘We thought we had him 
corralled,’’ was the comment 
of the RCMP spokesman. 

He said that pictures have 
been drawn of the suspect 
and they are apparently very 
true to life. They will be 
flashed on TV screens this 
week and photos of the 
drawing will also be released 


Local 
hog 
operator 
coverup 


There is a picture on the 
front of the Fall edition of the 
Alberta Hog Journal which 
could be of any farmer 
anywhere. 

However if St. Albert and 
Sturgeon residents look a 
little more closely at the 
picture they will see that it 
shows local hog operator 
Angus McDonell at his up to 
date hog operation near St. 
Albert. 

There is a story, with 
pictures of the McDonell 
operation which is termed 
one of the best hog pro- 
duction units in the country. 


22 - ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, 


to local newspapers. 


feats are truly deserved. 

This first bonspiel in the 
multi-purpose building in 
Morinville was well received 
by all those interviewed; 
favorable comments on our 
facilities were plentiful, and 
many expressed wishes to be 
back when the building is 
completed. 

Hec Gervais and fellow 
major leaguer Roger Comeau 
who made it to the fours of 
the Ist event, came out just 
for the fun of the spiel. 
Hector with his young rink 
and Roger with a mixed 
foursome helped make the 
opening bonspiel in Morin- 
ville’s new facility a first 
class event, one that was 
enjoyed by all the district 
curlers participating. 


For those of you who have never had a chance to witness it, here’s what a perfect end looks 
like. On Saturday, December 13th, Hec Gervais, Stanley Gervais - age 13, Randy Fisher - age 
14, and Hec Gervais Junior - age 15, captured that rare ‘‘eight ender’’ at Morinville’s ‘‘Fun 


Bonspiel.”’

-Government aid not the answer - Beef Association 


The Canadian Cattlemen's calling on producers to policy which will help their 


Association has called on 
producers across Canada to 
reject any further Govern- 
ment assistance for the Beef 
Industry, warning that pre- 
sent trends are likely to see 
complete Government ,con- 
trol of the industry within the 
next few years. 

In an open letter to all 
cattlemen, signed by the 
executive member for every 
cattle producing Province in 
Canada, the Association out- 
lines the current problems in 
the industry and the various 
solutions open to producers. 
Emphasizing that a surplus 
of cattle is one of the major 
factors in the present heavy 
losses being incurred by 
producers, the letter points 
out that much of the respon- 
sibility for the present situa- 
tion goes back to Govern- 
ment actions of a few years 
ago, ‘‘Just as they were 
terribly wrong in assessing 
the state of affairs in 1973 we 
believe that the Government 
is terribly wrong in its 
proposed solution and that if 
applied these will only create 
even more problems for us 
all’’ says the letter. 

The executive directors of 
the C.C.A. go on to say that 
the solution proposed by 
Government - price stabili- 
zation subsidized by the tax- 
payer - will only further 
distort the market, and must 
eventually lead to supply 
management and a Govern- 
ment regulated Board or 
Commission. Pointing to 
developments in other com- 
modities, the letter says that 
not only will this lead to very 
Strict policing of the industry 
and the loss of export 
opportunities but there is 
every reason to believe that it 
will eventually create chaos 
in the beef industry to the 
obvious detriment of both 
producers and consumers. 
The C.C.A. feels that it is 
time for cattle producers to 
choose between a market 
oriented or a Government 
dominated industry and the 
Association urges producers 
to opt for a market oriented 
industry working as part of 
the North American market. 
In opting for this direction 
the letter lays out a program 
of self help for individual 
producers and the industry 
as a whole, citing heavy cow 
culling, lighter slaughter 
weights, better market in- 
formation and consumer 
education as some of the 
things that can and should be 
done. 

The letter concludes by 


express their support for a 


industry solve its own pro- 


blems and create its own 
opportunities in co-operation 


with but not dominated by 
Government. 


MD accepts preliminary 
regional recreation plan 


At its regular meeting last 
Thursday the MD of Stur- 
geon accepted in principle 
the preliminary plan for 
regional recreation in the 
area for the next 10 years. 

In the plan is a scheme to 
fund major recreation prior- 
ities in seven key areas of the 
Sturgeon area to the tune of 
$5,113,050. 

Those areas are covered by 
Legal, Riviere Qui Barre, 
Morinville, Bon Accord, Gi- 
bbons, Villeneuve and Cala- 
hoo, and Namao (including 
Horse Hill). 

About half the funding will 
come from the provincial 
government's $100 per cap- 
ila grant, the rest from debt 
retirement and municipal 
taxes. 

The plan for regional 
recreation is built on the 
concept of providing the 
people within the MD of 
Sturgeon recreation within a 
15 minute drive of any 
community in Sturgeon. 

Types of recreation vary 
from curling rinks and arenas 
to playgrounds, swimming 
pools and arts and crafts 
centres. 

The preliminary recreation 
plan has been engineered on 
the premise that by 1985, a 
community like Morinville 
will have grown to the 9,000 
population mark and will 
have recreation facilities to 
match. 

Sturgeon Regional Rec- 
reation superintendent Laur- 
ent Coulombe emphasizes 
that the plan is preliminary 
and that a ‘‘name may not be 
put on the facilities so that a 
leader emerges from these 
(recreation) areas."’ 

Another representative of 
Sturgeon Regional Recrea- 
tion Jim Kyle told the MD 
that the plans are subject to 
change and that ‘‘area seven 
would be the most touchy as 
it is nearest the city.”’ 

Mr. Coulombe told the 
Reeve of the MD Bill Flynn 
that he is flexible on having 
the regional plan handled 
subject to a census in the 
MD. 

The results of this are 
expected near month end. 

Reeve Flynn expressed no 
opposition to the regional 
plan but pointed out that it 


DECEMBER 17, 1975. 


was coming at a time when 
the provincial government 
had recommended only 11 
per cent budgetary increases 


for next year to cope with 
inflation. 

On loans which would have 
to be paid back by the 


$900,000 sewer plant 
Morinville’s temporary solution 


Morinville still battles on 
with its sewage disposal 
problem and seems to favour 
an interim solution before 
going ahead with a $2% 
million sewer line tie in with 
St. Albert. 

That is many years down 
the road yet and the popula- 
tion of Morinville will have to 
increase to 20,000 before it 
can afford to tie in with St. 
Albert on a utility basis. 

At the regular meeting of 
the MD of Sturgeon last 
Friday, Morinville Mayor Art 
Stapleton gave MD council 
an update on his talks with 
the Department of the Envir- 
onment and St. Albert. The 
upshot of these discussions is 
that Morinville will play for 
time and likely go for a 
$900,000 sewage treatment 
plant and the treated effluent 
will be released at set times 
into the Manawan Drainage 
Canal. The near $1 million 
plant will cope with the 
town's sewage needs till the 
4500 population level is 
reached. 

Mayor Stapleton pointed 
out to the MD that the 
Department of the Environ- 
ment is hung up on the 
pipeline as the best solution 
for Morinville’s sewage dis- 
posal problems, 

““But,”’ he added, ‘‘we’re 
after a cushion of time till we 
get the people to pay for it.” 

Mayor Stapleton explained 
that with the proposed sewer 
treatment system, which 
may be located one and a half 
miles east of Morinville on 
the base line, treated sewage 
would come out clearer than 
country run-off water, 

The wastes are chlorinated 
and have no bacteria count 
once they have been treated 
in the facility. 

While Councillor Clay Cr- 
ozier approved of the treat- 
ment plant in principle he 


said that he should object to 
be on the safe side as the MD 
had not broached the matter 
with the people yet. 

But he also wondered, if 
the interim measure was so 
good, why was it not the final 
process, avoiding the need 
for the $2 million pipeline 
tie in with the Town of St. 
Albert? 

While Mayor Stapleton 
hoped that a regional sewer 
system would be the best 
solution, tying in with St. 
Albert, if this proved to be 
impossible he was toying 
with other alternatives. 

He felt there could be a tie 
in with Gibbons, Bon Accord 
and Legal following through 
with a 20 mile pipeline to the 
North Saskatchewan River, 
with the possibility of Spruce 
Grove and Villeneuve joining 
into the system later. 


communities, the Reeve 
said, ‘‘But a loan to pay off a 
loan, that’s where New York 
gets into trouble.”’ 


What makes Mayor Sta- 
pleton balk at tying in with 
St. Albert is that by the year 
2000 it will cost Morinville’s 
projected 20,000 population 
$250,000 a year to pay for the 
utility. 

That the mayor says he 
wishes to avoid. He doesn't 
want to see Morinville resi- 
dents paying up to $25.00 a 
month for both water and 
sewer rates. 

He said there'll be a full 
presentation from the Town 
of Morinville and Associated 
Engineers on future sewage 
disposal plans at the first 
regular meeting of MD 
council in the New Year. 

Mayor Stapleton empha- 
sized that he wished to carry 
out discussions with all 
parties concerned with Mor- 
inville’s sewage disposal 
problem ‘‘like gentlemen.’ 


New MD boundaries 


will add to 
assessment 


The MD of Sturgeon’s 
assessment could go up by as 
much as $12 million foll- 
owing a boundary realign- 
ment recommended by the 
provincial Boundaries Com- 
mission, 

If the realignment goes 
ahead with the Imperial Oil 
Fertilizer plant at Redwater 
will come right into the 
extended boundaries of the 
MD. 

Presently that plant is 
within the County of Thorhild 
which is set for Splitting 
between the municipal dis- 
tricts of Smoky Lake and the 
MD of Sturgeon, 

MDofficials pointed out 
during their regular meeting 


last Thursday that they will 
now have the extra revenue 
to look after maintenance of 
secondary roads 825 and 643, 
These are used by employees 
at the Redwater plant who 
drive to work through the 
MD of Sturgeon. 

The MD of Sturgeon will 
present a brief at Smoky 
Lake December 18 endorsing 
the decision of the provincial 
Boundaries Commission to 
carve up the County of 
Thorhild. 

Ratepayers from Smoky 
Lake and Thorhild will have 
an opportunity to present 
their ‘‘beefs"’ at that hearing 
December 18, 


Following are some of the 
highlights from the regular 
meeting of the MD of 
Sturgeon, December 11 and 


12 in Morinville.

there were plans for con- 
struction of a metal median 
along the length of the Trail 
from 137th Avenue to Hebert 
Road. Statistics show that 
most accidents on the Trail 
occur near the 137th Avenue 
end. 

With the number of turns 
across the Trail reduced, rear 
end collisions should also 
decrease, and a median 
would greatly increase the

but will have played a 
tune-up exhibition game 
against the RCMP by the 
time this is published.

not until December 30, but 
they play Villeneuve, Friday, 
Dec. 19 and Namao, Sunday, 
Dec. 21. Our team is 
currently holding down first 
place in their loop and if you 
haven't seen them yet, 
perhaps the next game is the 
time. 


Goldenagers 
enjoy festive 
gathering 


By Liz McLeod 

Not even the cold wind on 
a wintry day could stop the 
senior citizens of Calahoo 
from attending the Christ- 
mas party December 10th in 
the beautiful arena hall. 

Being supper would be 
served each family shared in 
bringing something to make 
up a Christmas turkey 
dinner. 

They gathered after 1 
p.m., and enjoyed a few 
hands of cards before playing 
what has to be a traditional 
game with cards. You take a 
gift off the table until they’re 
all gone and then the fun 
starts taking from one 
another, hopefully each one 
is left with one gift. 

At 4p.m., the ladies set 
the food out on the table for 
all to help themselves and 
what a delicious meal was 
consumed - besides the al- 
ways enjoyable visit. 

This was also a day of 
jubilation for two of our 
members who were in hos- 
pital were able to attend this 
day. 

Mrs. Clara Loyer, looking 
very well, was swarmed with 
well wishers when she 
appeared in the doorway, 
accompanied by her daught- 
er Lorraine and grandson 
Darrell. 

An interesting note for 
many is the fact that Clara is 


taking therapy at the U of A - 


Hospital under Dr. Nickel- 
son's direction. This doctor 
used to practice in Stony 
Plain years ago. They recog- 
nized one another and 
enjoyed a visit as well. 

Our second pleasant sur- 
prise was to see John 
Thatcher - who had just been 
released at noon from the 
Royal Alexandra Hospital, 


attend this afternoon looking 
very well and his same jolly 
self. 

The only sad note was the 
absence of Mr. and Mrs. 
Fred Labonte, Mrs. Still in 
the Misericordia Hospital. 
Then there’s Mrs. Mary 
Kolesar and Mr. Frank 
Gawron at home, but were 
unable to attend, to name a 
few regular members. 

We all missed you and 
wish you all the best in this 
blessed festive season. 

Attending and thoroughly 
enjoying this day were: The 
Carl Carlson's; the Charles 
Seeleys; the John LaFleur’s; 
the Phillip Millers; the Vic 
Albrechts; Mrs. Mabel Br- 
and, Mrs. Ann Moore, Mrs. 
Mary Flaherty, Mrs. Elsie 
Williams, Mrs. Mildred Pal- 
mer, Mrs. Agnes Wester- 
lund, Mrs. Maria Eckerle 
and Mrs. Theresa Engleman 
from Onoway who are mem- 
bers of Calahoo too, and from 
Calahoo the Myles Kerrs; the 
Werner Christens; the Carl 
Bergstreisers; the Vance 
Berrys; the John Thatchers, 
the John Groppes, the 
Tommy Callihoo’s from the 
city; Mrs. Clara Loyer; Mrs. 
Bertha Berube; Mrs. Laura 
Boddez; Mrs. Emelia Sch- 
mermund; Mrs. Helen Radjo 
Mrs. Dolly Majeau; Mrs. 
Theresa Kaup, Mrs. Arvilla 
Majeau, Mrs. Theda Ver- 
beek, Mrs. Elsie Berry, Mrs. 
Florence Truman and this 
correspondent, Lorraine Sa- 
vard and Darrell Loyer were 
happy to visit their home- 
town too. 

The Calahoo Goldenage 
Club wish to thank the West 
Sturgeon Ag. Society for 
inviting them to use the hall 
for their Christmas party, It 
was much appreciated. Th- 
anks again.

OLDTIMERS 


Paul Houle’s triple hat-tr- 
ick performance sparked 
Morinville Goodtimers to a 
13-6 slaughter of Fort Ditch- 
ing Service Ltd., Sunday, 
December 14 in Morinville. 
Paul’s nine goals were more 
than enough to win but Leo 
Lalonde and Ernest Brisson 
didn’t think so, as is evident 
by their each adding two 
more; which rounded out the 
offense for the evening. True 
to Coach Roger Blackburn’s 
maximum ‘‘six goals against 
isn't too bad etc.’’) the 
Goodtimers easily over-pow- 
ered the Fort Ditchers. Next 
home game - Sunday, De- 
cember 21 at 8 p.m.

wan. Congratulations. 


Speaking of babies, Leo 
and I have been aunt and 
uncle three times in the past 
month and a half. My brother 
Remi Bolle and his wife Rose

as they are able to get heat 
into the building. When 
buying your supply of pop for 
the festive season, remem- 
ber them.

Correction 


Cutlines on the photo of 
the fire which claimed the 
life of Leonard Moschansky 
did not locate the farm home 
properly. It was four miles 
south and one mile west of 
the town. Also one of the 
volunteer firemen who an- 
swered the call was the 


brother of Mrs. Moschansky, 
not her brother-in-law.

delighttul program of music. 
First we heard the Gibbons 
School Glee Club. This is 
composed of girls and boys 
from grade 4 and up. Their 
leader is Mrs. Nen and 
accompaniast was Mrs. Mills 
They sing as if they really 
enjoy it. Many of the songs 
were Christmas carols with 
other numbers in between. 
Their young voices blended 
in nicely, especially in the 
part songs. It was truly 
enjoyed by those present. 

Emily Oliver expressed 
our thanks and they were 
given a hearty round of app- 
lause. Candy and jap oranges 
were given to each one as 
they filed out. Our grateful 
thanks to these young people 
and their leaders. 

Following this, Mrs. Pat 
Wandler extended an invita- 
tion to all senior citizens to 
attend the play school con- 
cert and party. This will be 
held in the community hall 
on Friday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. 

Next on the program were 
a young couple from Coron- 
ado, Les and Sandra Perry. 
Les plays the piano, and 
Sandra has a lovely voice, 
which we enjoyed in their 
solo. They also had a 
singsong of Christmas carols 
and old favorites. 

The committee then play- 
ed Santa Claus, giving out 
gifts from a little Christmas 
tree beautifully decorated by 
Eula. Everyone was well 


remembered. 

Lunch was a serve-yourself 
style. Everyone had brought 
something. Sandwiches, ca- 
kes and all kinds of goodies. 
December birthdays were 
remembered with a birthday 
cake brought by Margaret 
Rigney (Sunday School Cir- 
cle). Jap oranges were also 
passed around. We had 
previously sung ‘‘Happy 
Birthday’’ to Gladys Blom, 
Joe Hostyn, Steve Lamour- 
eux, Wilfred Oliver, Alberta 
Spence, appeared from the 
kitchen decked out in an 
apron. He rounded up all of 
the men to clear the tables 
and do dishes. That really 
made the day for the women. 
Thanks Gordon. 

The Club would like to 
extend to everyone the Sea- 
son’s Greetings. See you all 
again on January 8, 1976. 
Don’t forget the date!!
